"Lin, Through a fluke, my wife Sue, found a several year old post from you on FB wondering if I was The same Marine that knew Dan. What a shock, twice so to find this memorial to him when I searched his name. My home address was that in Chicago that you have. We were good friends in the Corps before we were transferred to other locations. What I find unique is that after I was discharged, I also spent 28 years in law enforcement with the Orange County Sheriff in California. Birds of a feather?? My condolences even at this late date. I will look forward to seeing him at end of watch when we change the guard on heavens streets. "
